 '''Thomas Gardiner Corcoran''' was born in Pawtucket, [[Rhode Island]] in 1900. He was a student of U.S. [[Supreme Court]] Justice [[Felix Frankfurter]] who received an appointment to the [[Reconstruction Finance Corporation]] by President [[Herbert Hoover]].
-Later, during the [[New Deal]], Corcoran's influence grew and he was able to help many students of Frankfurter receive appointments in the Administration of President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]. Most were lawyers but many were also economists, and appointees were nicknamed "the happy hotdogs." <ref>''The Roosevelt Myth'', John T.

 During FDR's presidency Corcoran worked in the [[White House]] as an intimate adviser and presidential speechwriter.  At one point, Corcoran lived in the White House. Eventually Corcoran was outmaneuvered by [[Harry Hopkins]] for the position of Roosevelt's right-hand man.  Corcoran, whose nickname was "Tommy the Cork", became a prominent Washington lawyer and fixer after leaving the White House.
